🌧️ “Who’ll Stop the Rain?” (Spoiler: Not My Dog)

Song of the Day: Who'll Stop the Rain – Creedence Clearwater Revival

It started with a paw on my arm.

Then another.

Then that subtle, tail-wagging body slam only a loyal companion can deliver when they need to go now.

So I did what any responsible, barely-awake pet parent would do: I stumbled to the door, leash in hand, eyes half-shut, only to open it to… rain.

Cold, steady, undignified rain.

And my four-legged best friend?

He stared out at it, blinked, and turned back to me with the clearest look of “turn it off” I’ve ever seen.

We both sighed. He handled his business fast, then we sprinted back in like soaked gremlins.

But hey—good start, right?

☕ Morning Hustle

Garbage taken out. Protein shake chugged. And off I went to the gym, then work.

Except… in my morning shuffle, I brought the lunchbox but forgot the lunch.

Classic move. Ended up having to grab food on the go, which wasn’t ideal, but I made it work—kept it light and protein-focused.

🧠 Good for the Soul

After work, I called my best friend. Just one of those catch-up chats where you talk about everything and nothing.

We laughed. We vented.

Honestly? Felt like therapy without the bill.

Sometimes, self-improvement means calling the people who know you best and letting them in—just enough to remind you who you are.

🐾 Wind Down

Came home. My fuzzy alarm clock greeted me like I’d been gone a week.

We played for a bit (mostly him running laps while I tried to stretch my back), then bedtime hit both of us like a freight train.

Long day.

Productive day.

Another step forward.

Daily Reflection:

Some days aren’t about massive breakthroughs—they’re about quiet wins: showing up, staying on track (even if lunch goes AWOL), making time for loved ones, and being grateful for the little routines that keep you grounded.

Stick around. Subscribe. Share.

And if you’ve ever been stared down by a dog in the rain, drop a comment.

Let’s keep showing up—even in the storm.

We’re just getting started.
